Diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn.A vehicle with a smaller turning diameter will be able to perform a sharper U-turn. The turning radius (alternatively, turning diameter or turning circle) of a vehicle defines the minimum dimension (typically the radius or diameter) of available space required for that vehicle to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding.
The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the measure of a complete angle—the angle subtended by a complete circle at its center. One turn is equal to 2π radians, 360 degrees or 400 gradians. As an angular unit, one turn also corresponds to one cycle (symbol cyc or c) [1] or to one revolution (symbol rev or r). [2]
The generic roller coaster vertical loop, also known as a Loop-the-loop, or a Loop-de-loop, where a section of track causes the riders to complete a 360 degree turn, is the most basic of roller coaster inversions. At the top of the loop, riders are completely inverted.
The controlled detour at 37,000ft west of the Faroe Islands took just less than 10 minutes and occurred shortly after 8.30pm on Monday.
If the Car Starts parallel to the right curb, almost touch the curb, and then turns its wheels hard left, it will be able to do ONE U-turn past the 2nd curb, ALTHOUGH if it continues to do a 360 degree turn, then its right front tire will bump the right curb, UNLESS the starting position of the car is not 1 inch from the 1st Curb, but 12 inches for example, and then the Car can do a complete ...
It is a continuous, upward-sloping section of track that eventually completes a 360-degree turn, inverting riders halfway into the element. They are ellipses in the shape of an oval or teardrop. Early roller coaster designs attempted to incorporate circular vertical loops, resulting in massive g-force that had dangerous effects on riders.

For each time a car falls off the edge of the track, a 20-second penalty is assessed. Wetropolis; Teams start at the edge of a field flooded with 3 feet of water. Teams maneuver to red hydrants scattered around the course and in order to continue, the car must complete a 360-degree turn in reverse around it.
